We groom ourselves. When we first had Wylie...we tried different groomers a few times, and every time, they cut Wylie's quick. To this day (he's almost 6 now), he is traumatized when we cut his nails, just terrified. So, no more groomers for us. Marcel has never been to a groomer...and he just lays back and let's us cut his claws, no reaction. Pfeiffer did really good for her first claw cut too.
Marcel is in full coat, so it's mainly just brushing or de-matting for him. Wylie gets a puppy cut...and I learned it kinda by trial and error. Pfeiffer still has her puppy coat.
Marci made some great tutorial videos...have you seen these?
